INTESA SANPAOLO: MOU WITH PAM, THE PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN

Naples, 25 November 2022 – Intesa Sanpaolo and PAM, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean, signed a Memorandum of Understanding to cooperate and create synergies in fields of common interest such as to promote access to funding, higher education, cultural exchange in the finance sector, sustainability and international cooperation in trading in the Euro-Mediterranean and Gulf regions. The goal is to contribute to the growth and development of relations, countries and societies.

Intesa Sanpaolo is the sole Italian banking group having signed this agreement with PAM, to cooperate also in implementing internships and student exchanges to strengthen their skills and to facilitate their integration into the labor market.
